Given the time of year, we thought this would be a great time to celebrate one of the most treasured resources in most neighborhoods–the community garden. These labors of love provide an oasis in areas that at some point were on hard enough times that no one wanted to do anything with the vacant lots that dotted them. Cheers to everyone who contributes time and money to sustaining them. Please send us a current photo and a few words about what makes your community garden special and we’ll post it. We’ll also map them so that when we’re done we’ll have a map with links to all the gardens in Brownstone Brooklyn. We’ll kick things off with this shot of the Cedar Tree Garden. Flatbush Gardener has a great photo set on Flickr of the garden from last year. Can anyone tell us about the history of this space? GMAP

  1. Xris — Great work. In the Slope, yiou are missing Garden of Union and Annie’s Garden. I believe there are a ton of gardens in Brownsville, although a bunch were targeted for development a few years back.
